Description/Background:
The purpose of the Code Amendment is to consider adding a new section within this chapter to create a new Special Development District for Kuwahara Wholesale and amend qualification requirements for the application of SD Zones within the City. On November 3, 2020, the City Council requested City Staff to work on preparing a new zone or Special Development Zone to accommodate the needs of the Kuwahara Wholesale business, located at 8565 & 8575 South State Street. The Council gave staff some stated goals and objectives that this request should address (see Council Office Memo dated November 3, 2020). Staff prepared a draft of this proposed code amendment to create a new SD Zone known as the SD(FM-HSN) - Historic Sandy Neighborhood Farmer’s Market and presented it to the Council on February 2, 2021. The Council voted and directed staff to take this proposal through the formal review process for the eventual adoption of these changes.
A full detailed staff report on this subject is attached.
